Face it, Rei's not into Chad; strikes out on her own
Ever since he had met Rei Hino, Chad Billings had been in love with the Shrine Maiden. And if one had known his background, one could understand why Chad was in love with Rei.
The only son of Thomas and Evette Billings, Chad had a rather difficult. His father Thad was a failed Rock 'N Roll star who would often escape the realities of life through drugs or alcohol. However, thanks to the interference of his parents Michael and Michelle, Thad was promised to Evette Mitchel.
Evette on the other hand, was a high society girl. At 6' 2, Evette was the kind of woman that most men wanted; money, fame, success, and a nice figure. But when her parents Greg and Martha died, everything that Evette had owned was taken away because it was in the name of her parents' company and the new owners didn't want to support to her.
However, Thad's parents were friends of Greg and Martha, and since they were both rich and wanted to see Evette taken care of, they arranged for Thad and Evette to marry.
However, Thad and Evette never loved each other. Thad only loved his music and drugs, while Evette only loved Thad's money. Despite that, in the third year of their marriage, they had a son whom they named Chad.
Now, for the first six years of his life, Chad was a real "Momma's Boy." But, when Chad was taken to his first Rock 'N Roll concert for his seventh birthday, Chad decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a Rock 'N Roll star. And for Evette, that was the final straw. When Chad informed her that he wanted to become a Rock 'N Roll star, she immediately sued for divorce and tried to sue for custody of Chad.
However, Thad's parents – when they learned that Evette had filed for divorce, immediately cut Thad and Evette from their money, which not only forced Evette to go back to Thad, it also forced her to find a job. And since Evette was only good in photography, she found a job as newspaper photographer.
Well, a little over eleven years later, Thad overdosed on crack; and following the death of his father, Chad became lost. However, fate led Chad to the Cherry Hill Shrine – the home of Rei and Hayato Hino. And upon meeting Rei, Chad fell instantly in love with the Shrine Maiden. And because he had fallen in love with Rei, he asked for and was granted permission by Hayato to stay in the Temple and learn how to become a Shinto Priest.
But while Chad loved Rei, Rei did not love Chad. In fact, Rei hated Chad. She only tolerated him because he made her grandfather happy. Yet that didn't stop Chad from trying to seduce Rei to be his wife. But every time Chad tried something new, Rei just shot him down.
Well now, Serena – as Rei – had to deal with Chad. And she wasn't looking forward to it. Thankfully, because she no longer loved Darien because she had fallen in love with Rei, Serena knew that it would be a piece of cake to shoot Chad down once and for all, which she immediately set and out to do when Hayato and Chad stepped out of their car.
"Hello, grandfather!" Serena happily greeted the elder Hayato.
"Rei, my favorite granddaughter," Hayato happily answered back.
"You do realize I am your only granddaughter, right?"
"That's why you're my favorite."
"Well, thanks for the compliment."
"Rei, aren't you at least say hi to Chad? He lives here to you know."
"Ugh, don't remind me."
"Rei, that's not a nice thing to say."
"Yea, well how else should I treat the son of a drug using father and a gold-digging mother?"
"Rei, I can't believe you just said!" Chad cried. "You've never been that nasty to me."
"Well maybe if you hadn't been trying to get into my pants the last five years, I wouldn't treat you that way."
"Rei, apologize to Chad right now!" Hayato demanded.
"Like hell I will!"
"Young lady you will apologize to Chad right now or I'll…"
"What, throw me out? Do that and I'll have my dad buy this place and throw the two of you out!"
"Rei, I thought you hated your father." Chad wondered.
"Stay of out of this Chad!"
"I can't, I sorta think I'm the subject here."
"You think everything is about you don't you Chad? Well guess what, it's not! Kami, you're just like your stupid fucking mother aren't you?"
"Rei?"
"Don't 'Rei' me grandpa, you know I'm right."
"Alright young lady, if this is how you're going to be, go to your room."
"Go to my room, what am I, five-years-old?"
"No, but you're acting like one." Chad commented. "What, did you and Serena have another fight?"
"Stay the hell out of this Chad!"
"No, for once I won't 'stay the hell out of this!' Look, I don't wants got into your these last few months or what's gotten into you right now Rei…" Chad began.
"Boy, wouldn't you be surprised." Serena thought to herself.
"But you're acting like…" Chad continued.
"What, a real fucking bitch?"
"Exactly!" Chad finished.
"Well who the fuck asked you, dumbass!"
"Alright Rei, I asked you earlier, now I'm telling you…Go to your room!" Hayato exclaimed.
"Fine, maybe I will! Let's go Phobos and Deimos."
"Phobos, Deimos, stay where you are." Chad commanded.
"Phobos and Deimos don't do what you ask them to do, Chad! They are my friends and if I want them to come with me, they will."
"Yea, well your friends are stupid. Course they have more brains than Serena does!"
"You take that back right now!" Serena cried as she lunged towards Chad.
"Why, you say it all the time?" Hayato asked.
"Just because I sometimes yell at Serena, doesn't mean I don't care about her!"
"Yea right Rei, you care about Serena as much as Southerners cared about Northerners during the American Civil War." Chad said.
"Why you low-life, scum-sucking, mother fucking, son-of-fucking whore. I should rip your balls off and shove them down your fucking throat. Serena is the best friend you, I or anyone else could ever have."
"So why do treat her so poorly then?" Hayato asked his grandfather.
"It's called 'Tough-love!'"
"More like hatred if you ask me." Chad said. "By the way Rei, I love it when you're pissed off, it's really hot."
"Why you!"
"Alright enough!" Hayato cried. "Rei, I've already told you to go to your room. Phobos, Deimos if you want to go with Rei, feel free to do so."
"Grandpa, why are you taking Chad's side, especially since he just hit on me, again?"
"Because Chad's a nice boy." Hayato responded. "He'd make a great husband for you. Plus, it would ensure that your father couldn't buy this place because it would already be in the family name."
"And just how would the Temple be in our family's name if I went along with your stupid fucking plan?"
"Because, when we marry, I'm taking your name my love!" Chad said.
"What?"
"Yes, and that after that Chad will file for divorce, and since the Temple would be in the 'Hino name' ownership of it would revert to him." Hayato answered.
"And just when did you fucking retards come up with this brilliant idea?"
"This weekend." Chad said.
"Yes, and your father has agreed to it." Hayato added.
"So that's what your big "retreat" was all about this weekend?"
"Of course, what else do you think we were doing?" Chad asked.
"I can't believe you two are that fucking retarded!"
"Young lady, that is more than enough from that foul mouth of yours!" Akihiro Hino proclaimed.
"Gee, what I'm not surprised to see you here father?"
"Now you listen here, you either do as I say or I'll…"
"What?" Serena dared.
"Disown you immediately!"
"Well guess what asshole, you can't! I disown you! I disown you, this family, your stupid fucking plan, everything!"
"Why you ungrateful wench!" Akihiro proclaimed.
"Oh, and since by blood I'm the only Hino left, you can't destroy this place."
"And whose going to stop me!"
"I am!" An unexpected voice cried out.
"Luna!"
"Yes, it's me my lady. Can you every find it in your heart to forgive an old fool?"
"Already done old friend. And welcome back!"
"What kind of trick is this? Cats can't talk!" Hayato cried.
"Well this one can, mortal." Michelle Kaioh answered.
"And she's not only either." Amara Tenoh added.
"Amara? Michelle?"
"Sorry it took so long for us to get here Rei, I actually followed the speed limit for once."
"Took you long enough to do that."
"Yes well, Amara had no choice in the matter." Michelle began. "At her last court appearance she was told that if she was caught speeding one more time, her license would be revoked forever."
"So you decided to submit to a human judge?"
"Who else would your friend submit to Rei?" Chad asked.
"We submit to one person, and one person only!" Amara answered.
"And who might that be, the Tooth Fairy?" Akihiro mockingly asked.
"Luna, would you or Mina be upset if we showed these foolish mortals who they are messing with?"
"Given the circumstance, no! Go for it!"
"Go for what?" Hayato asked.
"You're about to see, mortal." Luna proudly proclaimed.
"Mars Crystal Power!"
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!
"Make-up!"
"No way!" Chad cried.
"It's not possible!" Hayato exclaimed.
"How can this be?" Akihiro asked.
"Mortals, behold three of Princess Serenity's protectors and friends." Luna began. "Sailor Mars. Sailor Uranus. Sailor Neptune."
"Im…impossible." Akihiro wondered. "My daughter cannot be a Sailor Senshi."
"Foolish, foolish man." Luna answered. "Yes, in this life Sailor Mars' civilian identity is Rei Hino. But she is not now, never was, nor ever will be your daughter. She is the Avatar of Mars and second in command of the Sailor Senshi."
"Wait, you me that Rei and her friends?" Hayato asked.
"That's right silly man. Serena is our Princess as well as Sailor Moon; while I and the rest of my friends are her personal guards!"
"Forgive us, Sailor Senshi." Akihiro pleaded.
"No, there shall be forgiveness for any of you!" Queen Selenity cried. "You have insulted both my daughter and her sisters. For that, there is no forgiveness."
"Some defenders of love and justice you are, you're going to kill us aren't you?" Chad wondered.
"No, nobody is going to die here today, even though such a crime would be worthy of death." Luna said.
"So, what will happen to us instead?"
"Your minds will be wiped clean." Selenity answered. "Any memories that you had of my daughter, Rei or any of their friends will be wiped clean from your memory."
"And what about this place and Rei?" Uranus wondered.
"I will take over this place, but will still be known as Rei Hino." Serena answered. "I just won't be related to the Hino's of Japan."
"Sort of like there are multiple families in America known as the "Smith's," yet they are not related to each other?" Luna asked.
"Exactly!"
"Are you sure that is wise lieutenant?" Neptune enquired.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Very well, let's begin." Selenity answered.
And with a wave of her hand, any memory of Rei Hino or the Sailor Senshi was immediately removed from the minds of Rei's former father, grandfather, and Chad. Akihiro and Hayato were then teleported back to Akihiro's office, where the senator took care of his father in his final years. As for Chad, he was teleported to America where he worked as banker in Augusta, Maine until his death from a drug overdose three years later.
"Well, now that we've got those things settled, it's on too other business." Serena began. "Neptune, Uranus I would like to express my thanks. I couldn't have done this without your help."
"It was our pleasure lieutenant." Uranus said.
"Yea, that's the most fun we've had in a while." Neptune added.
"Yes, well now that playtime is over, it's time to get back to work." Luna said.
"Indeed, we have much to do." Serena began. "We have Princess to train, some memories to reawaken, and training for all of us.
"Amara. Michelle. You are to work with Venus and workout a 'Train Sailor Moon schedule.' Luna, you are train Serena how to be a Princess."
"And what about Lady Mars?" Luna asked.
"Tonight, I'm going to visit Serena while she is sleeping. I am going to remove every one of her memories, and replace them with mine – except the ones that have to deal with her feelings for me."
"But won't you need your memories of your life as Serena too?" Neptune asked.
"My friends, listen to me." Selenity answered. "Rei will still have all of her memories of her life as Serena, she'll just be sharing her memories with her replacement."
"So, you'll have two complete memories in your head, just using one of them for this mission then?" Luna asked.
"That is correct." Serena answered. "But I won't just have Rei's memories. I'll have all of her powers, her mannerisms, her ability to be a bitch, her skills…"
"In essence, everything that makes Rei, Rei will be yours." Uranus implied.
"Correct."
"So, do you want us to call you Serena or Rei when all of – minus replacement Serena – are around?" Neptune wondered.
"No, until this over, you need to think of me as and call me Rei.
"And how long will this masqueradego on? Luna asked.
"Until Rei, I mean Serena finally admits that she is in love with me?"
"Forgive me for asking, but won't that be kind of hard if Serena doesn't have any of her old memories?" Luna asked.
"Don't worry, I will eventually give Serena back her old memories."
"And when you will begin to that?
"Once she realizes that being me isn't all that easy, and once I'm done giving her some of the crap she used to give me."
"Good, cause I don't think I could take this body-switching thing forever," Luna replied.
"Oh come on Luna, it's not that bad."
"Not that bad, you're joking right?" Luna asked.
"No, I'm not. If you hadn't done what you did, I never would have received all of my old memories, I wouldn't have learned that Mina – as crazy as she can be some time – is a great Sex Ed. teacher, and that being one of the other Senshi is really hot."
"Hey, if that's how you feel Odango," Uranus implied.
"Uranus, first of all you're talking to the wrong girl." Neptune corrected her partner. "And secondly, there is no way I would every let you switch bodies with one of our fellow Senshi again. Once was more than enough."
"That's not fair!" Uranus cried. "You made a great Venus back then."
"Oi, what is it about Venus that everyone finds so attractive?" Queen Selenity asked herself.
"Well love, maybe after Serena brings you back and you're old enough for us to get back together, I'll switch bodies with Venus and show you." Pluto silently told her old crush.
"Don't even try to do that." Serena warned her mother and the Scout of Time. "Once I'm Queen, I'm going to make it a law that the only ones who can have Venus body are me and Amy."
"And why is that?" Pluto asked.
"Because, Amy and I are the only two who can pull of Venus' craziness and show everyone what a good time is really like.
"And because I said so."
"You truly are one of kind, darling. You're going to make a great Queen." Selenity said.
Note: Yea, I finally finished Book 1 of "Serenity and Mars – A love written in the stars." I know that this book was more focused on Serena and her plan – but that was the plan. The next Book – "A different shade of Serena and Rei" will be a little more balanced. Also the rest of the Sailor Senshi will finally make their appearance.
Until next time!
